Former Green Bay Packers defensive lineman C.J. Wilson's one-year deal with the Oakland Raiders is worth $795,000 and includes a $65,000 signing bonus, according to a source with access to NFL Players Association salary information.

Wilson's base salary of $730,000 is the minimum for a four-year veteran, but will count only $635,000 against the Raiders' salary cap if he makes the team because of the veteran salary benefit, which was worked into the most recent collective bargaining agreement to encourage teams to sign older free agents.
